Wrong assumption. People also use include to include plain html
data which is sent to the browser. So PHP 'hops' out of PHP
parsing mode when reading an included file. If you (!) type it
wrong, PHP can't recognize it should go into PHP parsing mode ..
you can hope as much as you want but if you think about it you
see it makes sense the way it is.
